Article Synopsis
  • The study examines how early fusion of minor skull sutures affects skull-base growth in patients with Crouzon syndrome, focusing on the occipital bone and foramen magnum development.
  • Researchers analyzed CT scans and 3D models from 60 patients with Crouzon syndrome under 12 years old, compared to 60 control patients, to understand the correlation between suture fusion and bone growth.
  • Results show that while premature suture fusion limits the growth of various occipital bones, it does not directly cause foramen magnum shape restrictions, suggesting that this fusion impacts skull morphology in a broader context.

Background And Purpose: Experiential learning in pharmacy has the potential to offer transformative experiences for students. Advanced pharmacy practice experiences (APPEs) can be improved if students are encouraged and able to (1) identify and track individual learning gains and interests, and (2) develop self-awareness and intrinsic motivation.

Educational Activity And Setting: The intention/reflection (I/R) practice was developed to address these educational concepts and help facilitate meaningful experiences during APPEs.

As suggested by the 2013 CAPE Outcomes, we recommend that colleges and schools of pharmacy consider EI-related competencies to build self-awareness and professionalism among students. In this Statement, we provide two examples of the introduction of EI into pharmacy curricula.
